I just wanted to ask if there is still time and it's ok to make the same change to skelcd-control-openSUSE Leap 15.1 branch as I did in https://github.com/yast/skelcd-control-openSUSE/pull/165
Leap will not offer XFCE in the role selection screen.
Ok, assuming that there is a chance to make such change in the future, I would appreciate some advice from you. I understand openQA needs some tuning for the upgrades. Anything else?
I appreciate your efforts, in fact I have users with XFCE on Leap to take care of too. So I'm very happy when XFCE doesn't cause trouble (never did). However, from a product point of view having two official/primary desktop environments already is luxury. I don't intend to add more. My main reason is that the ones taking care of the release don't scale arbitrarily. A primary desktop choice in my opinion comes with certain promises about quality and continuity. Those have to be supervised by someone. Automated test cases in openQA are key to that but still someone has to take care. Check failures, create needles, restart jobs, report bugs for QA, follow up on bug reports... Then QA or someone has to fix test cases etc. We do that for KDE and GNOME as they are primary choices. Issues with KDE or GNOME can hold back a snapshot and even the release after all. So for me putting XFCE into that role selection screen means promoting it to the same level as KDE and GNOME. Consequence in turn would be that we have to put the same effort. The effort for that is missing elsewhere then. I think we reached a fair compromise with the primary choices listed in the role selection while all other options are available via the "custom" option. I'd prefer to see the patterns cleaned up so the presentation in YaST can be done in a meaningful way¹ rather than abusing that role selection dialog for even more stuff. cu Ludwig [1] https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/900993#step/select_patterns_and_packages/2... -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Mary Higgins, Sri Rasiah, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-releaseteam+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-releaseteam+owner@opensuse.org
